Mindfulness for Children Training
January 24 – March 14, 2023
8 Tuesdays, 4:00-5:30pm PST and
2 Sundays, 12:00-3:00pm PST
Mindfulness practices for children relieve stress, build emotional resilience, and support a child’s ability to learn. This 30 hour training will give you the tools to share a myriad of helpful mindfulness techniques with children. Through this training, you will explore and understand the power of self-regulation, co-regulation and attunement with children.
This is a training for adults to learn how to share mindfulness with children. Zoom sessions will be adults only. We encourage you to try out these practices with the children in your life outside of these classes, and then we can workshop your experience together during our sessions.
In order to support the children in our lives, we need to support our own well-being and regulation. For this training, we will commit to daily meditation and mindfulness practices that enable us to be available to attunement with children.
Schedule:
Tuesdays, January 24th, 31st, February 7th, 14th, 21st, 28th, 31st, March 7th & 14th

At True Self, we believe that Yoga truly is for everybody, at every age. Our Family and Kids Yoga classes offer children a playful, imaginative exploration of the practice of Yoga. Children are natural Yogis, and our trained Children’s Yoga teachers are committed to nurturing the innate wisdom in each child.
Our wide range of Kids and Family Yoga classes offer developmentally appropriate practices for children and families of every age and type. Tiny babies are welcome at Postnatal Yoga, as well as all of their caregivers (not just moms!). Little Movers and Family Yoga give children the security of practicing with a trusted caregiver, while adults rekindle their love of play alongside their children. Preschool age children thrive in Storytime Yoga classes, bringing books to live creatively with Yoga movements. And school age children develop social skills, body awareness, emotional balance, and confidence as they explore Yoga principles and postures through relatable and engaging themes.
Imagine the world where children learn to love themselves, care for each other, and access a deep trust in their inner wisdom. At True Self, we believe bringing Yoga to children is vital to supporting healthy, balanced humans, and to creating a kinder, happier world.
With their combined yoga and meditation experiences and with deep roots in the Olympia community, husband-and-wife team, Vajra Romano and Christina Lagdameo, have established True Self Yoga with the mission to bring out your highest good.
